Ronaldo is set to make $125m (£91.63m) before taxes in the
2021-22 season after moving back to Manchester United with $70m (£51.31m)
coming from his salary and bonuses at Old Trafford, according to Forbes.
The 36-year-old is set to earn an estimated $55m (£40.31m)
from commercial deals, with only three athletes set to earn more from
sponsorship; Roger Federer ($90m, £65.97m), LeBron James ($65m, £47.64m) and
Tiger Woods ($60m, £43.98m).
Messi, who topped last year’s rankings, falls to second
despite sealing a lucrative move to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.
Forbes claim the former Barcelona star will earn $110m
(£80.63m) this season, with $75m (£50m) of that figure coming from his salary
and bonuses at the Parc des Princes.
Meanwhile, Messi’s club teammates Neymar and Kylian Mbappe
are third and fourth on the list respectively.
Neymar is set to earn $95m (£69.68m) in the 2021-22 season,
while Mbappe is some way behind the Brazilian with expected earnings of $43m
(£31.54m).
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is fifth in the rankings
with expected earnings of $41m (£30.6m), while Bayern Munich’s Robert
Lewandowski is sixth with $35m (£25.66m).
Perhaps a surprise inclusion on the list is former Barcelona
midfielder Andres Iniesta, who is ranked seventh with earnings of $35m
(£25.66m) – the bulk of which comes from his salary and bonuses at Japanese
club Vissel Kobe.
Eighth on the list is Manchester United midfielder Paul
Pogba, who is set to make $34m (£24.92m), while Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale is
the highest-ranked British player in ninth with expected earnings of $32m
(£23.46m).
Another Real Madrid player rounds off the top 10, former
Chelsea winger Eden Hazard, who is set to earn $29m (£21.26m) in the 2021-22
campaign.
